When chord face failure occurs, one of the factors, which influence the resistance of the square hollow sections joint is the brace-to-chord width ratio of the joint. This includes the size of the weld connecting the two members. The influence of weld type and weld size on the behaviour of rectangular and square hollow section joints was studied at the Czech Technical University in Prague. This paper describes an experimental and numerical investigation of square hollow section joints. The welded T-joints were loaded by axial compression. Three different types of welds were investigated - butt welds, fillet welds and a combination of these types. Experimental results for the T-joint together with material characteristics are provided. The paper presents a validation of the numerical model to experimental data. The research-oriented model with shell elements, prepared in RFEM finite element software, represents well the behaviour of square and rectangular hollow section joints. A parametric study with a broader range of sections was performed using the design-oriented shell elements model. Based on the results of the experimental and numerical investigations a modification of the analytical equations used in current prEN1993-1-8:2021 is proposed.

Shear Capacity of Hollow High-Performance Concrete Beams with Cross-Wound Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Reinforcement.
Polymers (Basel)

This paper introduces cross-wound CFRP shear reinforcement of hollow HPC beams. The CFRP reinforcement was manufactured in the form of a square tubular mesh from carbon rovings oriented at ±45° from the longitudinal axis. The shear reinforcement was made in two variants from carbon yarns with linear densities of 1600 and 3700 tex.

Cartilage tissue engineering presents a promising therapeutic avenue, but success hinges on replicating the native physiological environment to guide cellular behavior and generate tissue constructs that mimic natural cartilage. Although electrical stimulation has been shown to enhance chondrogenesis and extracellular matrix production in 2D cultures, the mechanisms underlying these effects remain poorly understood, particularly in 3D models.

Urinary catheters serve as critical medical devices in clinical practice. However, the currently used urinary catheters lack efficient antibacterial and lubricating properties, often leading to discomfort with patients and even severe urinary infections. Herein, a new strategy of supramolecular assembly and disassembly of chitosan (Cs) is developed that enables efficient antibacterial lubricous and biodegradable hydrogel urinary catheters.

Mechanistic understanding of the formation of clusters plays a role in designing the structure-dependent properties. Based on the fact that anions act as templates to form spherical polyoxovanadates, various structures were reported by changing anions in the synthetic solution. In this work, another factor in the formation of spherical polyoxometalates was demonstrated.
